MYRTLE BEACH WRAP-UP–Despite the large numbers that turned out for the event, there were few problems with road congestion as bikers returned home Sunday during the last day of the Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association Myrtle Beach Rally.
S.C. Highway Patrol officers said they think the larger crowd remaining in the area for a longer period of time contributed to a higher death toll than last year’s rally. The rally is estimated to have attracted close to 300,000 participants, some who began arriving May 13.
A New York resident involved in a wreck Sunday morning became the fifth person to die during the rally.There were three deaths total during the May Harley and Atlantic Beach Bikefest rallies last year, compared with 15 for the two events in 2003.
Sunday’s crash at 10th Avenue North and Robert M. Grissom Parkway was the first fatality associated with the rally in Myrtle Beach, police Sgt. Harry Rogers said.
In 2003, there were 13 fatal crashes in Myrtle Beach during the two back-to-back biker events.
Horry County had reported a total of 120 motorcycle wrecks as of 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Horry County spokeswoman Lisa Bourcier said.
Myrtle Beach police issued 1,294 tickets by Sunday, said Capt. David Knipes, spokesman for the department. At least 853 people were arrested.
The police and fire departments had a total of 3,996 calls for service, Knipes said.As the Harley-Davidson rally wound to a close on Sunday, few traffic problems were reported.The bikers left the beach at different times and were not stuck in traffic jams, area police said.
“It seems that everybody has either left town or is in the process of leaving,” said Mike Shumate, a supervisor with the North Myrtle Beach Police Department.”There have been no major tie-ups,” he said.

CRAZY HORSE TO LIGHT UP BADLANDS NIGHTS– Ruth Ziolkowski has high hopes for a new program that people can see this summer and fall at Crazy Horse Memorial.”It will be the story of Crazy Horse the man (and) Crazy Horse the memorial,” she said. “It will be a thank-you to the Indian people for the many gifts they have given us. It will be a little bit of the story of the family and the sculptor and of the future of the Crazy Horse project and the Indian people.”
“It” is the “Legends in Light” multimedia program, beginning this Memorial Day weekend. The side of the mountain on which the sculpture is being carved will become a screen hundreds of feet tall onto which laser light outlines, still slides, animation/video and colored lights are projected, all accompanied by music.
Ziolkowski, chief executive of the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation and the widow of sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, hopes that the program, described as “laser light storytelling,” will serve as reconciliation, education and entertainment.
The program will begin at 9 p.m. each night from Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, through Labor Day. The foundation hopes to continue the program through October at an earlier start time. The entire program is about an hour long.
In addition to outlining the shape of the completed sculpture, the laser lights will project various figures such as an American flag and bald eagle onto the mountain. Ziolkowski said “the laser feature was most popular” when the memorial presented a shorter multimedia trial show during the 2003 Sturgis motorcycle rally.

A LETTER TO HOT BIKE’S AGENT ZEBRA–I bow in respect and appreciation. The industry needs the kind of open honesty that you deliver.

The rag has never been better.
I trust you will weather the storm of the corporate critics. You have my un-dieing support.
Eternally, Count
The difference between “guts” and “balls” – –
Guts – is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, beingassaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: “Are youstill cleaning, or are you flying off somewhere?”
Balls – is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling ofperfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass andhaving the balls to say, “You’re next!”

BIKERNET RELIGIOUS MOMEMT–On the first day God created the dog. God said, “Sit all day by thedoor of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I willgive you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said, “That’s too long to be barking. Give me ten years andI’ll give you back the other ten.” So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, “Entertain people,do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? Idon’t think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that’s what I’ll do too, okay?”
And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. God said, “You must go to thefield with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calvesand give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixtyyears.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live forsixty years. Let me have twenty and I’ll give back the other forty.”
AndGod agreed again.
On the forth day God created man. God said, “Eat, sleep, play, marryand enjoy your life. I’ll give you twenty years.”
Man said, “What? Onlytwenty years! Tell you what; I’ll take my twenty, and the forty the cowgaveback and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, thatmakes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God, “You’ve got a deal.”
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoyourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support ourfamily; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain thegrandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch andbarkat everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
